How does Mark Rober approach failures in his projects?

Mark Rober approaches failures as learning opportunities rather than personal deficiencies. He shares examples of projects that took years to complete, like his automatic bullseye dartboard (three years) and domino robot (five years), emphasizing that he never internalized these setbacks as personal inadequacy. Instead of thinking 'I'm not good enough,' Rober views each failure as discovering one more way not to do something. He compares this mindset to video games, where players don't give up after failures, and encourages applying this perspective to real-life challenges, recognizing that while outcomes involve chance, failures offer valuable learning experiences.
